Snow Leopard 10.6.4 release today includes Safari 5

Hi
Safari 5 is included in the 10.6.4 update released today - available in Software Update.
If you have not installed Safari 5 and you prefer to stay with your current version of Safari, do not upgrade to 10.6.4,

OK, I have not yet installed the 10.6.4 update. I am following the advice to wait a couple of days.
Also, I am still in the process of *trying to figure out which external hard drive to buy so I can run Time Machine.*
I am now running Safari 5, fairly successfully, after the initial problem with my ISP DSL modem, which works after I changed the DSN numbers.
My question is, *since Safari 5 is working fast* (except very occasionally I can't get to a website, such as when I tried to login to this site, initially neither Firefox or Safari would get me to the login site) for me, *would it probably be "safe" to download the 10.6.4 update?*
Or should I just keep the 10.6.4 update waiting for my manual approval and wait until I get my external hard drive. I am thinking that Apple would not have made the 10.6.4 available if we Mac owners shouldn't be downloading it.

  • Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Maverick in order to download Safari 6?

    I'd like to download Safari 6 but I don't think I have enough memory (2 GB) on my MacBook with Snow Leopard to download Maverick, which apparently I need to do in order to get Safari 6. Is this correct?

    You are correct that you have the minimum amount of RAM tp install Mavericks of 2 GB. Most everyone says 4 GB is a more realistic amount.
    Why do you feel that you need to upgrade Safari?

  • QT Pro features gone in QT snow leopard.???

    I saw snow leopard on a developers comp today and the QT pro features
    a.playing a section of a movie in a loop and the editing of tint, contrast, brightness ect is gone.
    What program can you use to replace these or is QT in Snow going to have these when released.
    I was told this was the final version he had.
    Thanks

    We are not allowed to talk about "pre release" versions of Mac software.

    Above it what Apple has announced regarding QuickTime and Snow Leopard.
    Looks like many of the "Pro" features will now be available in the "standard" version.

  • Snow Leopard vs Long list of permissions repairs from 10.5.8 update

    Hello Everyone,
    My question is more of result of technical curiosity than anything else.
    This is the first Mac that I have ever owned, therefore it must be said that I have never upgraded the Mac OS X operating system before.
    It is well documented here in these forums that the latest update to Leopard (10.5.8) resulted in a rather long list of permissions repairs for many users, including myself. I have read through most of the posts regarding this issue and have even taken the advice which several of you have given to "reapply the combo update twice without doing a permissions repair"
    Nevertheless, the list is still there, and according to most users, as well Apple, these can be ignored.
    Having said that, I fully intend to upgrade to Snow Leopard when it is released on Friday...But, when I do, should I assume that since the upgrade essentially installs a new operating system, the permissions data base will show up without any permissions errors? Or is the only way to clear the permissions list, a "nuke and pave" (erase and install) which purportedly is not an option on the upgrade disc.
    Most of you out there are smarter than I am and much more experienced with the process so any expert advice you may have would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    joe

    In all the articles you've read through, it doesn't seem you quite understand the issue.
    When they put out 10.5.8, Apple replaced a lot of files with links to the originals. The repair database doesn't know that they are supposed to be links. So, permission repair reports them as different than what it expects. There is nothing wrong. Stop repairing permissions for no reason and they won't bother you.
    There is nothing you can do to cause them to go away. When Apple puts out another update, they will hopefully update the database so that it recognizes those links and doesn't report them. However, I expect at some time in the future, stuff will change and the permission database will not get updated, and you will see similar notifications.

  • Is the Core 2 Duo MacBook Snow-Leopard ready?

    As in, will Snow Leopard be able to boost the performance using the 64-bit technology compared to ordinary Tiger or Leopard on this machine? I know it requires 64-bit apps, was just reading about it, but in general the OS should be quicker and more efficient, yes? Are all of the Core 2 Duo Macs going to see an improvement or are some models too old?
    I'm thinking about getting a MacBook, seen a refurbished 2GHz Core 2 Duo model with Leopard installed (includes Leopard discs etc) for £599. Worth it, with the potential to go fully 64-bit with Snow Leopard at some point in the future?

    System specifications for Snow Leopard have not been released, and probably won't be until it's much closer to release. No one at this time can say what models of Mac it will run on and what performance gains will be experienced on any particular model of Mac.
    But if it's a choice between a Core 2 Duo Mac and one with the earlier Core Duo processor, I'd opt for the Core 2 Duo system, budget allowing. The Core 2 Duo is a better processor, and the Macs that used it have other improved features that would make having them worthwhile unless you're just really strapped for cash.

  • Can Mavericks run a screensaver from Snow Leopard?

    Hi all,
    This morning I was running on Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and today I downloaded and installed Mavericks (10.9.4).
    The screensaver options are a bit different, and I don't like them as much as the Snow Leopard ones. I was using a screensaver that made a montage of the pictures saved in iPhoto, where it would start with an image, then zoom out, revealing that image to be one of many that each acted as pixels in a larger image, and so on.
    I would like to know if it is possible to download and add this screensaver (or one of the others) from 10.6.8 and run it as my screensaver now that I have Mavericks.
    If it helps, I currently have iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 (I don't know if this changed when I upgraded to Mavericks or not).
    Thanks for your help,
    ben-hof

  • NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 Kernel Panics/Freezes in Lion & late Snow Leopard

    I've found some other reports of these freezes scattered about the forums, but usually other people come in and post something about unrelated video cards.

    Since upgrading to Lion I have had many issues with crashes and kernel panics characterized by the following symptoms, listed here in detail so that people can find them when they search:
    Pixellation - colored pixels appear in different areas of the screen, in seemingly random bunches.
    Mosaics - squares appear redrawn in the wrong part of the screen. Sometimes these squares are large, other times tiny.
    Recovery - sometimes the system recovers once it starts doing these. Other times it just keeps going until it freezes/panics.
    Kernel Panics - I've only had the "grey screen" appear once or twice. Usually there is a complete system lockup before this can happen, and I have to reboot the system manually.
    Some solutions/attempts to solve:
    Turn off Energy Saving - This is horrible for the monitor and can lead to burn-in, but I found that many of my crashes occured when the system was trying to recover from "screen sleep". So now I run a screen saver instead, which doesn't seem to trigger it as much.
    Screen Saver - Sometimes I can "refresh" the system by turning on the screen saver and then coming back. Other times, this doesn't work and the pixellation/mosaic remains. Sometimes I can't even initialize the screen saver at all (in which case a total freeze usually occurs right after).
    Rebooting - seems to clear things up for a while, but inevitably, the problem resurfaces.
    Running Windows - Not really a solution, but I have had absolutely no issues with this behavior while running Windows 7 on this same machine (under Bootcamp).
    Downgrading to Snow Leopard - I have not attempted this, but I've read others say that their crashes went away when they did. I would like some more concrete evidence on this if anyone has it.
    My diagnosis so far:
    OS X Lion's NVIDIA driver kernel extensions (kexts) seem to be faulty with this GPU. The Windows drivers for this GPU work better on Apple's own hardware than OS X Lion's. Anectodal evidence indicates that Snow Leopard's drivers (at least up to 10.6.3 – more confirmation needed) do not display this issue. I can confirm that this never occurred in Snow Leopard until Lion was released and I upgraded to it.
    My request for help and information:
    If you are running this GPU (GeForce GT 130) and OS X Lion, please contribute to this thread offering any solutions you may have or, at the very least, listing your hardware and GPU profile.
    If you can, post crash logs so that we can compare common issues (NVDA Resman seems to be a huge recurring kext in the crash logs, for instance).
    Post screen shots or pictures taken of the pixellation (colored pixels) and mosaic (squares drawn in the wrong place) phenomenon, so we can build a body of evidence regarding this issue. I will continue to update this thread with the same.
    I feel Apple has ignored these issues for far too long, and required too many people to simply purchase new computers and new GPUs. If we can build a solid body of evidence regarding this specific issue, it will be a thread that Apple Support can be referred to.

    Crashed again, this time while running screen saver. Here's the log:

  • FF4 on Snow Leopard: Cmd-N, "New Window", doesn't open, is in Window menu, but isn't accessible. Add-ons all disabled.

    I installed FF4 yesterday onto my Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Today I can't open a "new window" using either the "New Window" menu under File, or using Cmd-N. (Don't know if it would have worked yesterday - I didn't try.) I disabled all (4) of my add-ons, restarted and the new windows are still failing to open. The new windows are listed in the "Window" menu, but even using that, I can't open them. Showing all open windows, using the built-in Mac "Expose" (F9) feature also doesn't show these windows.

    Well, today my New Window functionality is working fine, not fast, but it works. Nothing has changed - no new software or OS updates. Oh, well, thanks for looking at this.

  • I am unable to go beyond 15 minutes of Snow Leopard installation?

    Mine Late 2009 Mac Book Air 13.3/2.13GHZ/2GB/128SSD. Came with Snow Leopard. But I migrated to the latest OS as they become available and was running
    on Maveric until few days back
    Form two weeks ago mine started to have lock up screen... Initially while I was on Safari three weeks ago.
    Forced quit the screen but would not boot. On every attempt a single bleep at regular intervel. Tried all suggested Safe start, Command D , ect with no luck.
    Left it for a day and pressed the start button the computer worked for until yesterday.
    Yesterday on my attempt to install the latest updates from apple for the iWork & OS update for RAW files..Safari,the screen developed lock up.
    Put in the Disk 2 of my Snow Leopard to run the Apple Hardware \Test by pressing "D" at the start.. Performed the extended test "No Trouble found" as suggested the restart went into that bleep at regular intervel...
    Forced quit and when tried to start up the same single bleep at regular intervel....
    Left it for 24 hours, started this evening it but the apple logo and a bar appeared below with filling upto third and switches it self off. This happened fro few times.
    So I decided to connect my MacAir Superdrive and managed to put in my Snow Leopard Disk 1.. Start with "C"... It took after few attempt come up to the screen to select the language, agree apple's aggrement.then clicks in the superdrive with spinning and the bar reaches 28 minutes to go shuts down.
    While in DIsk 1 went to see utility.. no error on the Mac HD.
    I have tried thie few times and no further progress possible..
    I have tried Command+Shift+P+R and attempted the install,failed after reaching third of the way with 28 minutes to go.
    Can I some how get this working?
    Regards

    No,Mine was not shipped with USB OSX. I had two disks came with this computer.
    I placed my order for the Mac BookAir in the second week of August 2009-The period when the OS Snow Leopard is to be released. My computer was dispatched in the 2nd Week of Sept 2009 and I was lucky the the Snow Leapoard was installed with 2 diskets in the box.
    Is it possible if I sign into my account to download my Snow Leopard in a USB? How could I obtain OSX on a USB?
    Regards

    Hi,
    I was just wondering how come the new macbook pro 17" can have support for 8gb of ram?
    As I understand it, Snow Leopard will be able to handle much stronger component in the future. Does the new macbook pro have some kind of new software support for the new components in the computer?
    It all boils down to the question: How can the New Macbook Pro 17" have 8gb of ram?
    Kind Regards,
    Stephan

    No. Snow Leopard is not yet released. The limitation on MacBook RAM on previous models was a product of the particular Intel notebook chipset being used, not the operating system. You've been able to order Mac Pros with Leopard for quite some time now... The feature of Snow Leopard is not that it's a 64-bit OS, Leopard is that, it's that all of the 32-bit libraries (Frameworks) are now 64-bit.
    Leopard has always been capable of addressing more than 4G of RAM.
    Newer MacBooks now use a different Intel laptop chipset that supports more memory, that's all. The hardware is new.

  • Updated to Snow Leopard + iTunes 10 - where's my iPad stuff?

    Just updated my mac to Snow Leopard. Did all the updates, including iTunes 10.
    Now, when I hook up my iPad, iTunes does not launch, there's no synch. If I open iTunes, the iPad does not appear there.
    Where did it go? How can I get it back?

    hey mill1640,
    Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
    If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
    Many thanks,
    Josh

  • Upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard, what happens with iTunes and iPhoto?

    OKay, I picked up a Mac Boxed Set this weekend and I want to do the upgrade, with a clean install. Since I have never done this before, I don't know how it works. I plan to make a bootable backup onto a USB drive using Carbon Copy Cloner, and then transfer those settings back to my iMac once Snow Leopard is installed, but will that include all of my iTunes and iPhoto content? If anyone can let me know how that works I would appreciate it! THanks!

    iTunes is updated to the version on the Snow Leopard installer disc. Nothing happens to iPhoto as it's part of iLife, not OS X.
    If you erase the target drive then install Snow Leopard, you can use Migration Assistant to migrate your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and network settings from your bootable backup.

  • Unable to install Aperture 2.1.4 update on Snow Leopard

    Hi Folks,
    I have Aperture 2.1 installed on my Mac. When I try to install the 2.1.4 update, it quits by saying "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update". And Snow Leopard wouldn't let me launch Aperture without this update. Has anyone else faced this issue? Any known workarounds?
    This is a clean install of Snow Leopard and Aperture.
    Also, Software Update doesn't show the Aperture 2.1.4 update either.
    Thanks,
    Deepak
    p.s. As a workaround I am downloading the full 2.1.4 trial which I'll use with my retail serial.

    I have been having the same difficulties since installing Snow Leopard. When I perform a "software update" Aperture updates are not listed. I manually downloaded the 2.1.4 update and was then unable to install it for the same reason as above; the original 2.1 version is not recognized as even existing on the computer.
    Interestingly, I have the same issue with Safari. The program disappeared from my Mac Pro during the upgrade to Snow Leopard and when I downloaded the latest Safari program and tried to install it, the installer informed me that I had to have OS X v10.5.8 or newer in order to install this program; all partitions on the computer were indicated to be unsuitable for installation including the system (10.6.2) partition. This problem persists. So what gives?
    Thanks for any help

  • Un-zip file in Snow Leopard

    How do you un-zip file in Snow Leopard?

    Hey
    Apple used to include a program called StuffIt Expander to decompress zipped files, but doesn’t now that OS X lets you unzip files (but not .sit files). However, StuffIt from SmithMicro Software still comes in handy for opening other types of compressed files, notably the .sit or .sitx compressed types. Go to www.stuffit-expander.com or www.stuffit.com/mac/index.html to download a free version of the software or to splurge for the Deluxe version. In addition to compressing files, StuffIt Deluxe lets you encrypt and back up files.
